Is it possible humans exists in another part of the universe?

The Universe is so big and unknown; the existence of an identical Solar System is more than likely.

.....

I have a serious question

Maybe someone who knows more about space than I can help.

If humans in the future are able to travel to a very distant star in a split second from Earth,

On present Earth today, could we be looking at that star the future humans traveled to with the future humans at the star currently as we are looking
from Earth today?

For example Alpha Centauri is 4.37 light years away from our Sun. Say in 100 years humans are able to travel through space via wormhole technology. If
humans in the future are able to remove the 4.37 light year handicap and arrive at the planet...

Could we be looking at our future space brothers right now when we look up at the stars in the sky?

Is that possible?

And if it is could the humans come back, but they come back to our time?

edit:
Is it possible, mathematically, to show that future humans are up in the stars currently as we speak.

Could humans have evolved independently on another world, ones who are genetically the same or at least similar enough to breed with us? No. That
would be a case of "convergent evolution," and that simply doesn't happen. It's just a law of nature. Variance in the genome always increases
over time, it never decreases/converges.

A more plausible scenario is that someone or something came down to Earth tens of thousands of years ago and took a sample of humans with them
and then let them breed, perhaps even did some breeding of them or genetic manipulation in order "uplift" them into sentience (check out the great
series of science fiction novels by David Brin called the "Uplift" series, which deals with this sort of thing, the first in the series is called
"Sundiver").

In that case, there would be an another line of humans that could have evolved (or been bred) elsewhere in the universe.

I agree with this part of your post, it makes the most sense to me of any post in this thread. If there are humans elsewhere, they didn't evolve
independently, they were transported there.

This is not only the only realistic explanation, but it also happens to be the theme of the TV show stargate SG-1.

Having been raised with and trained by aliens, they'd probably be far more advanced than we are, and given the amount of time, they could well
have a fully developed civilization of their own as large or larger as what we have on Earth, or they might be integrated into the alien civilization.
Given the time and their technology, they could well span multiple star systems and we, here on Earth, could be more like a tiny group of stone age
people on some tiny pacific island somewhere, all but untouched by and ignorant of civilization in the world/universe around them. It's possible
that Earth is the mostly forgotten backwater of the Milky Way!

This part of your post, may be right or may be wrong. Once the humans were transported to different locations in the universe, they might progress at
different rates. Yes, progress could be faster as you suggest, but it also could be slower also.

I think it depends what you count as humans. species that we can reproduce with, or just humanoid life forms, or any species with about the same
intelligence as humans? In any case, as far as I am aware, the creation is infinite as well as the diversity in alien lifeforms.

You are thinking about it backwards. When we look at Alpha Centauri now, we are seeing it how it looked 4.3 years in the past, not the future because
that's how long it took for the light to get here.

Let's say we were able to jump to Alpha Centauri right now, in an instant, and then when we get there we are able to set up some sort of signal or
beacon that sends back a laser or radio signal to Earth. That signal would take 4.3 years to get back to earth, so it would get here around July-ish
2014. Even though we send that signal in the present, nobody back home would know about it until 4.3 years in our future.

For instance, here's a picture of the Sombrero Galaxy (aka M104). That image was
taken a few years ago by Hubble, but the image we are seeing there happened about 30 million years ago, as the light from that galaxy has taken that
long to reach us here. Whatever civilizations in that massive galaxy which might have been looking our way at the time the light in that photo
actually happened, existed almost halfway back to the time of the dinosaurs...and whatever light they were looking at from our galaxy happened a
little after the dinosaurs died out, because the light from out galaxy also takes 30 million years to reach them!

I say no....it's absolutely impossible.
With billions of stars, planets, etc out there...we are the ONLY beings out there like us. (Okay, I think you've sensed my sarcasm here)
Is this REALLY even a question or up for debate? OF COURSE it's possible. It's MORE THAN likely. The question SHOULD BE "how long do we think it
will be until it is proven?"

Thank you for replying. It is so hard to wrap your head around it, isn't it?

Ok, so the Sombrero Galaxy, what we observe in present time from our planet is the Sombrero Galaxy 30 million years ago. Does that mean if we travel
there via wormhole technology we would end up there 30 million years ago? Or would we end up there at the current age of that Galaxy?

Very possible. I think it's fitting to point out the Infinite Monkey Theorem, which states that a monkey (or many monkeys) randomly hitting keys on
(a) typewriter(s) would eventually type all of Shakespeare's plays, for example, if given an infinite amount of time.

Going on this logical example, I think it's fair to say that, if the universe is infinite, and new planets truly are being created every day, then
eventually every possible planet should be created, including, one would think, many supporting human (or largely humanoid) life.

If we instantly jumped there via a wormhole, we would get there as it is now, not as it was 30 million years ago. So all those dust clouds we can see
forming the big dark ring of the galaxy would have probably moved maybe 1/8 the way around the galaxy, as they make their (just a guestimate) 250
million year orbit around it.

Looking in space over these great distances is the same as looking back in time. Our deepest observations of he Universe go back
13.2 billion years, almost to its beginning less than
half a billion years before that. So, the oldest structures we see (big, blobby galaxies without spiral forms), no longer exist anymore - at least
not in that form. Some of the stars that make them up probably do, (very low-mass stars can burn for trillions of years), but the galaxies
themselves are long gone, or at least look nothing like that anymore.

Having been abducted by the dudes in the blue uniforms,yes Dorothy there are many races of humanoids in the galaxy.And we stick together so we
Earthers better get our collective #e together and form a unified global defense system ASAP.

We already have friends,we just need to become a collective force to realise our independance,we have to develope the ability to collectively defend
our airspace and planetary space AT ALL TIMES.

We are constantly invaded upon, every day by various groups,some deadly.

The only way we can get help is if we first show we can help ourselves by BECOMING ONE COLLECTIVE ENTITY.

We must combine our resources and intellect immediatly because we NEED TO DEFEND OURSELVES ON A PLANETARY LEVEL,and our friends cant even do
something that large scale for us.

But if we can come together and show the ability to mass produce the technology they DO HAVE TO SHARE ,then we are going to be OK and able to defend
our planet,at least have a chance to contribute to the cause of humanity in the Galaxy even if we become martyrs battling for our humanitarian right
to survive.Remember we are never and have never been ALONE here or in the Galaxy,we will survive or perish with our fellow races wether we are all
aware of their existance presently or not.

For all the peacenicks out there the ones who took me WERE ON A WARSHIP,not a taxi.And I was told some things about a galactic war we are indirectly
already involved in by virtue of our existance which has BEEN HIDDEN FOR HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF YEARS ,because WE ARE ACTUALLY A HIDDEN OUTPOST
OR RESOURCE DEPOT,FOR MATERIALS AND MANPOWER.

The probes and other crap that are destroyed are destroyed to keep our existance secret or hidden for as long as possile,if we are discovered to be an
asset we will be attacked and possibly destroyed.

Even if we UNITE AS A SPECIES we are no match alone if we are targeted,we will need allies,hence the importance of a global government and fast.We
need to create a situation where our global ability will allow us to utilise the available technology to create a defense strategy for ourselves.We
have help we just have to PUT UPP ON A GLOBAL SCALE OR SHUT UP.

Our survival isnt all that important in the big scheme we are far FROM DEALBREAKERS,we are barely considered to be a loss if we are destroyed,EVEN BY
OUR HUMAN RELATIVES,the universe is a big place and after all WE WERE SEEDED HERE WITH A TACTICAL PURPOSE.

Yes but we can't see them right now.
Meaning Ghost Whisperer is another mass media lie.
We are all in the same dimension and time.
Basically Einstein was a nut job and is screwing us out of good sense.
Good for physics books to mention in the transition from empirical
formula to atomic statistical mathematics to explain the formula we
already had but his other work is not used in practicality and good for
snubbing up noses to the masses.

If humans exist somewhere besides earth, then either we are not native to earth, or they came from earth. It is impossible for humans to evolve on
two different planets.

If you subscribe to the belief that humans have had advanced technology in the distant past, then it is an easy conclusion that we may have already
explored distant star systems and colonized other worlds (or perhaps originated somewhere else and colonized earth). This is possible.

So in conclusion, yes, it is possible, but it would mean that we have been a space-faring race for a very long time.

So if we got to the Sombrero Galaxy as it is now, what age would that be relative to the Universe, and what age would we be observing at of the
Earth?

Not only do I think it's possible, I believe its very likely that there are human like beings somewhere out there. So yeah I don't see why not.
Just because its not in the bible or other "holy" scripture doesnt mean its not there. And just because we cant prove that they out there doesnt
mean they are not either.

There are something like 400 billion stars in this galaxy alone. Multiple planets/moons are expected to be found around a good percentage of them.

It happened here, so under similar conditions then of course it's entirely possible that 'human' aliens exist on other planets. There is nothing
special or unique about Earth, so absolutely no reason why it can't happen elsewhere in the galaxy.
